The Finale

Peeps!
Yours truly is very excited to announce some very exciting news! I am DONE with FINALS!! Sorry for that I don't normally capitalize things, I like to think I very rarely yell (if you think otherwise please keep this to yourselves, I like to live in my delusions). I am so glad to be able to breathe, take a chill, and not ever think about this awful semester again.

Oh the Weather outside is Frightful

Hey peeps,
Yours truly is sitting at her computer (obviously) wearing leg warmers under pajama pants with a thin shirt under a knit sweater with arm warmers. In other words, its freaking cold here in Humboldt County. I know, I know, I'm in Northern California, but we are still in California, it shouldn't be this cold. Damn you global warming (glowers at the sky). It's the time of season where the windows are frosting over and the plants are being burned from the cold. Burned from the cold people! It's like a mini apocalypse now over here. Okay now I'm just being melodramatic. Speaking of snow related things, did you know that Snow Leopards have light green or gray eyes instead of the typical big cat yellow or gold? Yeah, neither did I till I just looked up interesting snow facts and instead got facts on snow leopards, way too go google. That's all I've got for you right now. Stay warm.

Peculiar

Hey Peeps,
Your's truly is taking this moment out of her essay (a.k.a procrastinating) to spend a little time with you. Today I went to the smallest marine lab I've ever been to (because I go to marine labs all the time...that's sarcasm people) and got to touch anemones and starfish. Also, watching starfish move with their tube feet, is basically the best thing ever.
However the marine lab isn't what I wanted to blog about right now. I wanted to share this weird feeling of restlessness I've been having. It's the feeling like something is, not missing persay, just off-kilter. Like I want...........something? Like I need to do something perhaps? I'm not even sure, I just know that this feeling is unsettling, and causing me to procrastinate even moreso (I know, I know, we all thought I just couldn't possibly find a way to procrasinate even more than I already do, ha! you were wrong cuz just a couple of hours ago I was using Google Earth to procrastinate so there) to figure out what it is I want? need? Anywho you will all be updated on this if I ever figure out what this is. So, basically this blog was about a whole bunch of nothing, sorry y'all.

More, more, more

Hey peeps,
Today has been a rather lackluster day, I worked on my jewelry project (and no it's not just frilly bead work, I worked with chemicals and a saw), and then....piddled around on the computer. It's barely 5:14 and already the sun has sunken into the sky. The trees are barely black outlines in the dark. I know it's that time of the year but I want more sun. Or really I want what the sun symbolizes which is more time. There's a hundred moments throughout the day where I want more of something. More tea, more hot water in the shower (it's been damnably cold), more warmth, more food (mmmm food), more time to procrastinate, just more. And it doesn't stop. I suppose that's how it aways is, we are beings that consistently want more. It's not enough to have a sip, to have a quick taste, no we want it all, all the time, a continuous snowball effect. I am definitely guilty of this. I want more, more time, more books, but it's not just material things. I want more common sense (gods know I could use it), more comfort, more things to love...the list keeps going. The unfortunate side effect of this wanting more, is that it's never truly satisfied. We could have the whole world in our hands and suddenly get a yearning for the moon too. I don't where this is going, so just some food for thought.

Crashed

Well I was moving at the speed of sound.
Head-spinning, couldn't find my way around, and
Didn't know that I was going down. Yeah, yeah.
Where I've been, well it's all a blur.
What I was looking for, I'm not sure.
Too late and didn't see it coming.Yeah, yeah.
And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.
Somehow, I couldn't stop myself.
I just wanted to know how it felt.
Too strong, I couldn't hold on.Yeah, yeah.
Now I'm just tryin' to make some sense
Out of how and why this happened.
Where we're heading, there's just no knowing.Yeah, yeah.
And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.
From your face, your eyes
They're burned into me.
You saved me, you gave me
Just what I need.
Oh, just what I need.
And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
Then I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.

I left my heart in San Francisco

Hey peeps,
First and foremost Happy Turkey Day, this great day by which all turkeys are celebrated and feasted upon. It's a day of hanging with the family.
I am ecstatic to say that I am currently with my family, typing this on my aunt's computer actually, in San Francisco. I can not describe my complete and utter happiness about being back in the City, on home turf, for the first time in three months. I've missed it so. I love everything about SF, every cracked cement sidewalk and towering building.
Suffice it so say, I will be spending the rest of the day eating way too much food.
Happy Gobble Gobble

Halloween 09





Hey peeps,



As Halloween's go this one was pretty mellow. I think the anticipation I had for it, the pure happiness I have for Halloween, just kind of peetered (is that even a word? No, well it should be) out as the evening wore on. There was no trick-or-treating to be had this year. Last year was my last year, and I don't regret that. The time for me to run around getting free candy has ended, and now it's time for me to rock the costumes I couldn't because I was too young. I mean can you see me running around in that pseudo-straight jacket? It just wasn't going to happen without me flashing the neighborhood. So, instead, studious me got to clock in some extra hours studying for her huge test on, well today. I mean what kind of teacher makes a huge test the weekend after Halloween? Anywho, I did that, saw a few horror specials on television. All in all it was a good Halloween, I just think it'll be different if I were to have my own place. Just things to look forward too. Hope y'all had a wonderful Samhain.

There's a Demon in my Computer

Hey Peeps,
Yours truly was minding her own business on skype last night, when my computer froze. For those of you who know me this is not an unusual occurence. Usually I'll just restart it, however this was an uber-freeze, the mouse wouldn't even go. So, before hysteria could get a good grip on me, I called a friend. Said friend, who seriously deserves a giftbasket for putting up with me, calmly tried to work me through it. Since I'm seriously computer retarded, this is no easy feat. Every question was met with a vague description from me.
Example:
Friend: What model is it?
Me:...Dell
Friend: That's the brand what's the model?
Me:...Dell? All I know about this comp is that I have a Dell.
Friend: (Large sigh) It should tell you on top of the server
Me: The tower thing?
Friend: Sure it should be there
Me: You mean the thing I've piled an amplifier, cds, and multiple other things on top of
My roomie yells from the back: And a trashcan!
Me: The trashcan is just leaning against it, it's not on top!
Friend: Ev, now I'm convinced that there could be other things wrong with your comp with the conditions you've just described
Me: tee hee?
So yeah, that's basically how it went, now I know that my computer should be in better optimal conditions, but I don't have the space for it to be. Also, I'm kind of a mess, in terms of my living habitat. I like to nest, and said nesting happens with my stuff everywhere. I mean you've all seen the picture. It also doesn't help, that every computer I've come into contact with, either blows up, or becomes posessed by a demon who thinks it's funny to screw with me. Either way, said friend is a standup guy, who is truly the computer whisperer. I hope y'all have better luck with your technology.

The Preparations

Happy Monday Peeps,
Yours truly had a very busy weekend, though even though it was busy it still wasn't productive. The above is the pumpkin that I carved on Sunday, for those of you who recognize what it is, good for you, you get ten points. For those of you who are a bit stumped it is Blinky the ghost from Pacman. For those of you who don't know what Pacman is, you can go jump in a lake with that type of blasphemy. Blinky took me two hours to make, with one of those hours being dedicated to scraping out his innards. Also, homemade pumpkin seeds are so much better than store bought.

I also almost saw Paranormal Activity, which from what I've been hearing, should be a pretty frightening experience. Though, then again that's what they said for the Ring, and that wasn't scary at all. Pfft. When that little girl started to climb out of the t.v I had to keep from laughing. Though I do have a penchant for laughing at the inappropriate parts. Anywho, y'all can expect a full review when I do see it. That's all for today, have a great Monday folks.

Way too late to be completely coherent


Hey peeps,

yours truly is back and at 'em with blogging. As much as I enjoyed blogging on myspace, I think that I needed a change of scenery, so I'm trying this out for a while, we'll see how it goes. Let me start by saying, that I have no idea as to why I decided to start this so late, except that I am stubborning myself into not sleeping. (please excuse any and all typos) Instead of I don't know, cleaning my room like I should have been doing for the last two hours, I've been online milling about, basically whittling away the time. So alas, my room looks like a thief came in here trying to find something seriously valuable.

That pictue is basically what I've been wallowing in. Not that I'm complaining, but my roomie's a saint for putting up with it. As it is I'm debating shoving everything under my bed and going to sleep, because I can't hold off Morpheus much longer, my really freaking comfortable bed beckons to me. Sweet dreams peeps.
